Puisi-puisi Bahasa Inggris Karya Carolin Novriani Odje Kenge


THE UNEXTINGUISHED HOPE

On the vast expanse of nature

My soul flies to ward off worries

Harvesting creations

Stepping together toward achievements

With every breath

With every step

I find freedom

To create

"This is the classiest aspiration

As long as there is breath

I charge forward

Striving to reach the stars!"

As high as the sky, I soar

As deep as the sea, I dive

Seeking inspiration to create

With a brave heart

FREEDOM! FREEDOM!

Burning brightly

Urging me to act

Giving me hope

For tomorrow

I have talent

I have hope

I can be a beacon

I believe I can give meaning

Hi, My Generation

Rise up and create

Realize dreams

Make them come true

The soul travels

With a burning fire

That will never extinguish

Rise up! Create

Bring hope

For the nation and the country

Dismiss obstacles

Overcome challenges

I...

Realize dreams

Free to create

The nuances of colors

Paint the soul

Play melodies

Touch the spirit

I am free

Free...

Choose a path

Without shackles

Without fear

Crossing thorns

I stumble

In the darkness

Thrown by time

Because of the hardships

Heart shattered

Obstacles never cease

Burning wounds

Hope fades

Rise up!

Rise up, oh Generation Z

Be the light

Be the inspiration

Do not hesitate to step

Strengthen yourself

Face the future

Let's be free to create



WHISPERING TIME

In the infinite world of letters,

I sailed for a short 15 minutes.

Between the dancing words on the pages,

And the time whispering, "This time is enough."

On the wooden table, books became my companions,

In the library of thoughts, I sailed.

Drops of time, like a light rain,

Moistening the pages with hidden lessons.

The challenge of seeing within 15 minutes,

Time that seems to run without commands.

But amidst the agile seconds,

There is the magic of words greeting.

Disturbances come, notifications sing,

In the battle against distractions, I stand.

In my eyes, a vast small world unfolds,

Yet, with determination, I remain connected.

In the tempting selection of sources,

I choose books as my guide.

Words become an endless sea,

Watering the seeds of knowledge, planting them in the heart.

15 minutes, as if a message from time,

"But, is it enough?" I ask.

Yet, there I find,

That, indeed, every second is valuable.

The experience of literacy, more than just reading,

Poetry is created among the letters.

In my journey in the world of words,

I find countless beauty.

In the chasing 15 minutes,

The light of knowledge illuminates the corners of the heart.

This poem is born from the screen,

As a brief reflection, in the eternal world of literacy
